We welcome you into our home with open arms! Immediately, you will feel part of our family and our traditions. We begin our welcome, the same way my abuela did with me, with hot chocolate and pan. I love to share my stories and traditions of my culture with you. Classes can be in spanish or english.
Our class will take place in our beautiful outdoor kitchen, located on our terrace. You will learn to prepare food and cook in a traditional Oaxaqueña kitchen, called a brasero - a traditional brick stove, with open fire.
We will get busy in a hands-on cooking experience where you will learn to prepare appetizers, traditional drinks, salsas and main dishes.
In the culmination of our hard work, we will share in a group meal around the table with food, drink, stories, laughter, love and of course, mezcal.
We look forward to connecting with you over food and flavor; one of my cultures oldest traditions.

5.00We had an exceptional time with Adhey and Enrique's family. The cooking class was very interesting and incredibly good. The family is exceptionally kind, and we laughed a lot. I can only recommend this cooking class with this family. We found it very authentic. Especially since we were taking the class at their home, we felt right at home. A big thank you!

5.00I had an absolutely amazing time at the cooking class in Oaxaca this May! It was so fun, super entertaining, and had such a real, vibrant atmosphere in their own lovely home. Chef Adhey and her husband were fantastic hosts. The class was very well organized, and the people were so kind. A highlight for me was learning to make chile relleno—an absolute masterpiece with fresh ingredients. Everything was delicious. I would recommend it 200%—if you’re in Oaxaca, don’t miss this!

5.00If the world was full of people like this it would be a better place! We received such a warm welcome from Adhey, her husband Enrique, their helpers and their sons. Whatever your nationality food connects you, the origin of the ingredients, the style of cooking and eating together is a true celebration of what is best in life. If you are in Oaxaca this is the cookery class for you, we arrived strangers but left as friends and will remain connected sharing recipes and more 🥂
A fabulous day filled with fun and flavour!

5.00Chef Adhey’s cooking class was an unforgettable experience. You are welcomed into her home and are made to feel like family from the second you walk in. Chef Adhey, her husband and her children are all such warm, fun and welcoming people and they made this experience so unique. I loved every second. Her husband also did a great job of keeping our drinks topped up, and he was snapping away during the class and shared the photos with us on WhatsApp, meaning we left with so many photographs to remember the day. The food itself was incredible and the cooking class was very hands on - we left with our hearts and bellies full! Don’t hesitate to book this - you won’t regret it!
